You may be familiar with Venus Morris Griffin's story from the recent feature in Humans of New York. It is a story of triumph over adversity and much more.
Venus had a tumultuous childhood and married young at 21. She had 6 children with her husband before the fateful night when she received a phone call from a prostitute and she learned that her husband was living a secret life. With her husband in prison for 45 years for aggravated sexual molestation and hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, she fought her way back.
Using her real estate license, Venus managed to create a 7 figure income stream and is now flying around the country as a motivational speaker and soon to be author of the book VALIDATED.
She shares her story and how she is now giving back to students with a parent currently in prison. Her story is one of faith, perseverance and family bonds.

This week we are discussing women's health issues, FemTech and FemAging with Denise Pines. Denise is a longtime health community advocate, media pioneer, founder of Wise Pause and Tea Botanicals. She also co-authored a 2020 Health and Tech Report which identifies a largely ignored subsect of FemTech called FemAging.
FemTech is the matching of funds to women's health brands and the funding is enormous. Unfortunately, most of those funds are not addressing women 40+'s physical, mental and sexual needs. Denise is working to correct that with FemAging and seeking funding specifically to address women in midlife and beyond.
Denise is also hosting two events in 2022 under her educational and lifestyle platform, WisePause. The first will be online on March 26th and Denise has invited experts in a range of women's health issues (use the promo code HOTWP for 50% off the event). The second is an in person event in Los Angeles in September.
Learn about specific health issues of women 40+ and the upcoming events on this week's episode.

Our guest this week is the amazing actress Adrienne Barbeau. You may remember Adrienne as Carol, the daughter of Bea Arthur in Maude or from countless horror films. Who could forget Cannonball Run? Actually, Adrienne would like to because she did not enjoy the filming of that movie.
She was also the original Rizzo for Grease on Broadway and has written three popular books. She was the voice of Cat Women as well as many of the video games our families are playing online today. She is now working on another book to document that 50th Anniversary of Grease.
Adrienne had her twins at 51 and comically admits to having maternity and menopause experiences at the same time. Listen to her share stories of Hollywood, Broadway and more.
